Chapter 126: Unwaveringly Going astray!
Sisi is dead?
Zhou Qing was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not too surprised.
With City Lord Xiao's old fox eyes, how could he not see a hint of Si's personality?
Normal women would not look down upon a fat and big-eared man.
money!
that power!
status!
These are the things that Sisi values, and they are also the fundamental reason why Mashunuo commented that Sisi is "too carefree"!
If she really had the talent for cultivation, why would she still be staying in Nottingham in her twenties?
You should have gone to a bigger city to develop earlier!
Compared to Su Yuntao, who has a high probability of becoming the next master of the Notting City Wuhun Branch, the mayor of Notting City naturally has a higher status, greater power, and more money.
It's a pity——
My ability is not worthy of my ambition, so I have become a shield for others.
"... This is how it is." Xiao Chenyu said, "So, she can only wait for my father to die before marrying him."
"I am leaving."
Although Sisi's experience was her own fault, Zhou Qing once again realized the cruelty of this world. The lives of civilians, even civilian soul masters, are worthless and have no control over their own destiny.
No matter what you want to accomplish, corresponding strength is essential.
"Wait! Zhou Qing! Brother Qing! Can you help me convince my dad?" Xiao Chenyu finally stated his ultimate goal, "I... really don't want my dad to take that risk!"
Zhou Qing turned his head and looked at Xiao Chenyu deeply.
Unlike Xiao Chenyu's father who wanted to make great achievements out of small things, Xiao Chenyu himself did not have such big ambitions. He just wanted to be a local emperor in a small place like Notting City.
"I don't have that much face, so the advice I can give you is to steal that soul bone and throw it outside the city. The process needs to be witnessed by many people." Zhou Qing thought Xiao Chenyu was daydreaming. How could City Lord Xiao listen to the advice of a six-year-old child?
To really solve the problem——
The key to calming this matter is to throw away the soul bones as soon as possible, before the news about the soul bones spreads more and more outrageous.
However, this would also confirm that the Soul Bone Auction was indeed directed and acted by City Lord Xiao himself, and might even implicate Romanak.
but!
You can't have your cake and eat it too...
Xiao Chenyu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and left Notting College.
As soon as he came out, he noticed that the eyes of the non-Notting City soul masters wandering around nearby were all on him.
Panic! Fear!
But Xiao Chenyu still gritted his teeth, walked onto the street, and quickly walked along the busy street towards the Xiao Mansion.
Only when he saw the gate of the Xiao Mansion did Xiao Chenyu dare to run forward, rush in, and order the guards at the door to lock the gate.
"call--"
Xiao Chenyu, who had relaxed, had already realized that he was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked.
"Master, why are you back?" After learning the servant's report, Butler Xiao immediately rushed over and said to Xiao Chenyu, "During this period of time, Notting College is much safer than the Xiao Mansion."
"I need to find my father for something." Xiao Chenyu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and did not let Butler Xiao follow him. He went straight to find City Lord Xiao who was recuperating from his injuries.
After breaking an arm, City Lord Xiao was seriously injured, and only one tenth of his strength as a great soul master remained. Recently, he even stopped going to the office and just stayed at home to recuperate.
Moreover, it was precisely because of his broken arm that he made up his mind to quell the storm before the "rumors" spread further and caused greater disturbances, so that the people above could see what he was capable of!
Only in this way can he be promoted and not sacrifice his arm in vain.
now.
City Lord Xiao was lying on the bed and sleeping.
Xiao Chenyu tiptoed and pushed the door open. Seeing that his father was sleeping soundly, he walked to the nearby closet, gently opened the door, and began to search.
But there was no trace of the soul bone.
Drawers under the wardrobe -
No.
Bedside table——
No.
Under the bed
still none.
So, Xiao Chenyu quietly lifted the quilt covering City Lord Xiao, wanting to confirm whether the soul bone was in his hands.
But still nothing.
"Where is it hidden?" After Xiao Chenyu covered the quilt again, he thought about the place where the soul bone might be hidden.
He followed Zhou Qing's advice and prepared to throw away his soul bone!
Although the soul bone is very precious, compared with the trouble caused by the exposure of this soul bone and the possibility that he might not be able to become the lord of Notting City in the future, Xiao Chenyu feels that the slight increase in strength brought by the soul bone is not that important.
For a soul master who may never be able to break through to the Soul Master realm in his entire life, instead of constantly pursuing a breakthrough in realm, it is better to be a local tyrant in a small place like this.
"What are you looking for?"
As soon as Xiao Chenyu turned around, the voice of City Lord Xiao came from behind him.
"Dad... Dad!" Xiao Chenyu trembled and turned around blankly. The back of his neck felt cold and his lips trembled. "When did you... wake up?"
"You woke up when you first came in." City Lord Xiao's eyes were gloomy, "You were looking for soul bones."
The heavy tone made Xiao Chenyu afraid to look up, but when he thought of his broken arm, he felt a little more confident and spoke a little louder: "Yes, Dad. People in the city are saying that you directed and acted in this auction yourself. You just wanted to take the soul bone from the deputy city lord and didn't intend to auction it off at all."
"So what do you want to do? Are you so excited that you want to steal soul bones just because of those foolish words?"
City Lord Xiao's cold tone was like the cold ice of the Netherworld, piercing Xiao Chenyu so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head. "Have you forgotten what I told you? Don't worry about what those fools think. Just don't cause trouble for those who are suspected of having a family behind them!"
City Lord Xiao didn't take civilian spirit masters seriously at all. Even though he had lost an arm, he thought it was because those three guys caught him off guard while he was exercising.
Only the children of big sects and big families are the ones we can't afford to offend!
"That's not the reason!"
Although Xiao Chenyu did not dare to look up, he still shouted with a hoarse voice, "I am just, just, worried about your safety. Now someone dares to break into our house and cut off your leg... I can't imagine what will happen after this news ferments for a while."
Hearing this, City Lord Xiao's eyes softened a lot: "So, you stole the soul bone, and you wanted to throw it out of Notting City?"
"Yes." Xiao Chenyu gritted his teeth and admitted it, but he didn't say it was Zhou Qing's suggestion. "Dad, if the soul bone is exposed, Notting City will be even more chaotic. It's better to throw it away and let other soul masters fight for it. In that way, Notting City will return to its original peace."
City Lord Xiao was actually quite pleased that Xiao Chenyu could come up with such a solution, because it meant that his son could use his brain to think.
However, City Lord Xiao rejected this proposal.
Throw it out?
This was something he bought from Romanyak at the cost of one million gold soul coins (although in the end he only paid Romanyak 600,000 gold soul coins privately), and he couldn't bear to lose it.
The Xiao family is not so extravagant as to waste six hundred thousand dollars!
But more importantly, in order to make up his mind, City Lord Xiao has absorbed the head soul bone of Moo Spring Ox.
Having lost an arm and adding the six hundred thousand, City Lord Xiao's determination can be described as "burning his boats".
Without madness, there is no life.
This is a desperate gamble!
"Dad, you have absorbed the soul bone?!" Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth wide, which meant that there was no other way.
unless--
But you can’t even think about this kind of thing!
Because he is the son of the city lord! If his father died, he would at most be the son of a minor noble in Notting City, not the son of the city lord!
"Don't worry, my son, you have to trust me, your father."
City Lord Xiao said, "I have already arranged with the city lords of nearby cities. As long as this matter is resolved within half a year, my ability will be noticed by the administrative agencies of the Tiandou Empire. In two or three years, we can move to a bigger city!"
"Your grandfather was able to be promoted from a small town to Notting City and became the mayor of Notting City through a gamble similar to today. I was able to succeed the position of mayor after your grandfather constantly contacted other mayors and officials from higher-level cities and took care of all the relationships."
"At first, I was just like you, timid and afraid of failure, which led to my complete failure. But in the end, it was proved that your grandfather was right. I am just showing you what your grandfather did."
"In the future, if you find an opportunity, you must also make a gamble to gain more rights and status for your descendants! However, when you move to a bigger city, it will probably take three or even four generations before you can find an opportunity to start the next gamble!"
"The bigger the city, the more problems it has to deal with..."
Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth wide, his head buzzing, and for a moment he was at a loss what to do.
Was it true that my grandfather was just the mayor of a small town?
So, after moving to a bigger city, how much time do you have to spend accumulating for future generations so that your descendants three generations later can plan to move to a bigger city?
When Xiao Chenyu returned to Notting College with the butler and the guards of the Xiao Mansion, he had regained the "confidence" he once had as a noble.
Then--
He was seen by Xiao Wu who had returned from the Notting Guild and was beaten up again.
"Ah! Sister Xiao Wu, I was wrong! I will never dare to show a smug expression in front of you again. Please forgive me!" Xiao Chenyu, who was thrown into the flower bed, burst into tears. He did not dare to complain at all. He kept apologizing, hoping that Xiao Wu would not catch him and beat him alone.
And that touch of self-confidence also disappeared under the trend of pain.
"Humph, you used to lead people to bully the part-time students. I am avenging them!" Xiao Wu was in a bad mood. She snorted coldly, standing on the moral high ground, and shouted to Wang Sheng and others who were watching this scene not far away, "Tell me, is what Sister Xiao Wu did right?"
"Correct!"
"Sister Xiao Wu is so amazing!"
"Teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson severely. That guy will graduate next year, and we won't be able to teach him a lesson in the future!"
The part-time students applauded, except Wang Sheng and two or three other part-time students who had a good relationship with Wang Sheng. They did not act as exaggerated as the others and just echoed the applause.
Because they understand one thing better than others, that is, Xiao Wu cannot help them all their lives, and as part-time students and civilians, they have to rely on themselves.
But because he was not good at talking and his strength was not as good as Xiao Wu's, he didn't say much, and -
Seeing Xiao Chenyu being beaten, Wang Sheng and others actually felt pretty good.
When Xiao Chenyu heard these voices, he gritted his teeth secretly, but dared not say a word, because he knew that if he said one more word, he would be beaten even more badly.
This Xiao Wu is totally unreasonable!
Moreover, I don't know why, Xiao Wu's strength has become very strong recently. Without using martial spirit or spirit skills, she can grasp him with one hand...
His soul power level is two or three levels higher than mine, is the gap really that big?
"Look, everyone is complaining about you, so Xiao Wu is beating you to follow the will of heaven and uphold justice." Xiao Wu smiled proudly, "Also, I advise you to not take advantage of your status as the mayor's son to bully others when you go out in the future. Otherwise, as long as you stay in Notting City, Xiao Wu will have plenty of ways to teach you a lesson."
[But aren't you the one who is bullying others now? ]
Xiao Chenyu's face was full of resentment.
But this resentment soon turned into panic.
Because Xiao Wu clenched her fists and sneered: "Don't give me such a weird look, otherwise Sister Xiao Wu doesn't mind helping you change your expression to one that suits you."
Xiao Chenyu trembled all over, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes: Is he going to live in the shadow of this devil for the rest of his life?
Absolutely not!
father!
Your plan must succeed!
The whole scene of Xiao Wu teaching Xiao Chenyu a lesson was seen by Zhou Qing and Tang San who had just returned from forging iron.
"I feel like Xiao Wu has gone too far. Xiao Chenyu did often bully people in the past, but he hasn't been bothering civilians or part-time students recently. There's no need to take the initiative to cause trouble, right?"
Tang San frowned slightly.
I can help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime.
He had it all nailed down in his heart, how could Xiao Wu forget it?
"I guess it's because after completing the secondary refining of the spirit ring, her physique has improved and her strength has increased, so she's a little bit proud." Zhou Qing secretly sighed. He felt that among the four people, only Xiao Wu, the oldest "old woman", was a real child in temperament. She was lively and active, and acted on whatever she thought.
However, Zhou Qing also noticed the changes in Xiao Chenyu——
[It seems that Xiao Chenyu was persuaded by his father... Forget it, after all, I am not the same kind of person as these noble young men who have been living a life of luxury since childhood. Those who have never truly experienced the difficulties of ordinary people's lives cannot truly empathize with me! ]
[And I can't get too close to these people! ]
[So, in the future, besides practicing, reaching the Title Douluo level, or even breaking through the 100th level, what else do I want to do? ]
Zhou Qing didn't notice the confusion in his eyes.
But Tang San, who was always paying attention to Zhou Qing, once again clearly noticed...
